probably same plastic as Italeris
Nope, not that one. Revell did rebox Italeri's Leopard 2A6:

I'm pretty far into building Tiger Model's Revolution I. Track work & a trip to the paint shop, soon as warm weather arrives. It's a nice kit, Tamiya like in assembly but with more parts. I'm betting TM's Revolution II is much the same.
Call me a completist or crazy but I want to build 1 of each Leopard 1 & 2 that I can. (not every countries variant, now that would be crazy)
So more the merrier I say !
On the bench :
A whole bunch of figures, Too many half built kits and a (gasp) wing thing

Thanks, Robin. I generally avoid Tamiya armor as too simplified. I think the later Leopard is my choice, since I like the angled armor. Much obliged for the information. And the sight for "all things Leopard" looks very interesting, too.
